Audio problems with mp3 files

Hello,

Windows 11 and latest version of shotcut
Problem with audio
As soon as I overlay a track on the main track, the sound becomes choppy and full of crackles. The same goes for transitions and playback slows down.
I have had this problem before.

Is there a way to fix this?

Please excuse my English

This is a common comment. Have a look at the suggestions in these related threads:

Restarting the app and closing other applications can also help sometimes.

Thank you for your quick response and suggestions but they do not provide any concrete solution !!!
Am I really the only one experiencing this type of problem ?

No. It is a common problem. Which is why we have Proxy Editing and Preview Scaling. If you still have preview problems after enabling those features, then your computer is just not powerful enough for the project you are trying to make.

Beyond proxy and preview features, you can choose to overlook the preview performance and check the quality of the export output.

Thank you for your answers.

I simply point out that I use proxies and the reduced preview and that this audio problem occurs on both my old PC and the new one which still has 32 gigas of RAM!!!

I have also tested with other editing software and I have never encountered this problem.

It is a pity that there is no solution.

Finally, the audio is normal in the exported file.

Thanks again to the developers. I like Shotcut which I have been using for many years.
